Checking your identity

This is where you will find information about how and why we have to check your identity.

Banks and investment companies have to check the identities of all their customers to help combat financial crime and terrorist financing. The Money Laundering Regulations outline our responsibilities and we take these very seriously, because any attempt to abuse our systems could have a serious impact on our business, and therefore our customers, including yourself.

We always try to check customers' identities through automatic, electronic searches. In some cases, these checks are not successful, and we then ask to see documents confirming customer’s identity and address.

FAQs

How do I verify my identity?
What will happen if I don’t send the documents you’ve asked for?
Why couldn’t you confirm my identity electronically?
What should I do if my address has changed?

Please remember that past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance, the performance of investments is not guaranteed, and the value of your investments can go down as well as up, so you may get back less than you invest. When investments have particular tax features, these will depend on your personal circumstances and tax rules may change in the future. This website does not contain any personal recommendations for a particular course of action, service or product. You should regularly review your investment objectives and choices and, if you are unsure whether an investment is suitable for you, you should contact an authorised financial adviser. Before opening an account, please read the ‘Doing Business with Fidelity’ document which incorporates our client terms. Prior to investing into a fund, please read the relevant key information document which contains important information about the fund.
